Abi found herself in a dark place. She rubbed her eyes and when she looked around once more, she realized she was in a dark, dark forest.
The forest was cold and dense. She couldn't even see the sky because the tall trees blocked her view of it. The place was simply eerie. What was she doing in this place?
Abi was jolted by the sound of flying creatures. Birds?
She looked up again and saw bats hanging on the trees. 'Witches!' she thought and she shivered. Had she been abducted by witches? Was that how she got here?
Abi started to run. She began yelling for help because the bats started to chase after her. "No! Don't come!" she screamed, but the instant she looked back, the bats were right behind her. She fell on the ground as the bats flew over her fallen body. They flew in a circle above her, leaving her paralyzed with fear.
She screamed, calling for Alex but no words came out of her throat.
"No one can hear your screams, little girl," a sweet voice echoed.
Abi looked up and she saw that woman; that silver haired witch she saw standing on the rooftop of that hotel.
When she began to step closer to her, Abi crawled backwards. 'No, don't come!' she wanted to yell, but couldn't. She suddenly felt breathless.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you," she said, once Abi was cornered against the tree trunks.
"What do you want from me?" Abi asked, terrified.
"Do you want your husband to remember you again?"
Abi opened her lips but she didn't know what to say. Of course they already knew! But why? Why was she asking her this?
"Do you want to save him?" she asked again. "Your husband is running out of time. If you want to save him, come to the black forest. Alone. If you come with someone or tell anyone about this, you will lose your chance. This is your last chance to know everything, Abigail, to save him. This is the only way. If you don't come, you will lose him, forever. I will be waiting for you," she said and…
"Abigail! Abigail!" Abi opened her eyes and saw Alex looking at her with worry in his eyes. "Are you okay?"
He was holding her shoulders as if he had been shaking her for a while now. Abi's eyes looked around and she saw that it was already morning.
Her eyes fell back on Alex again and as if her mind finally clicked that she had had a nightmare, she suddenly hugged him tight. That was just a nightmare. But was it? It felt too real. And those words…
"Let me get you some water," Alex pulled away and went to get her a glass of water.
Abi gulped the water down like she hadn't had a drink in days, but her mind was still stuck on her dream. She couldn't forget the words the silver witch said. freēwēbnovel.com
